Judges 14:12-17

12Then SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, “Let me nowH4994 1propoundH2330 a riddleH2420 to you; ifH518 you will indeedH5046 tellH5046 it to me within the sevenH7651 daysH3117 of the feastH4960, and findH4672 it out, then I will giveH5414 you thirtyH7970 linenH5466 wrapsH5466 and thirtyH7970 2changesH2487 of clothesH899. 13But ifH518 you are unableH3808H3201 to tellH5046 me, then you shall giveH5414 me thirtyH7970 linenH5466 wrapsH5466 and thirtyH7970 changesH2487 of clothesH899.” And they saidH559 to him, “PropoundH2330 your riddleH2420, that we may hearH8085 it.” 14So he saidH559 to them, “Out of the eaterH398 cameH3318 somethingH3978 to eatH3978, And out of the strongH5794 cameH3318 somethingH4966 sweetH4966.” But they couldH3201 not tellH5046 the riddleH2420 in threeH7969 daysH3117.

15Then it cameH1961 about on the 3fourthH7637 dayH3117 that they saidH559 to Samson’sH8123 wifeH802, “4EnticeH6601 your husbandH376, so that he will tellH5046 us the riddleH2420, 5orH6435 we will burnH8313 you and your father’sH1 houseH1004 with fireH784. Have you invitedH7121 us to impoverishH3423 us? Is this not so?” 16Samson’sH8123 wifeH802 weptH1058 beforeH5921 him and saidH559, “6You onlyH7534 hateH8130 me, and you do not loveH157 me; you have propoundedH2330 a riddleH2420 to the sonsH1121 of my peopleH5971, and have not toldH5046 it to me.” And he saidH559 to her, “BeholdH2009, I have not toldH5046 it to my fatherH1 or motherH517; so should I tellH5046 you?” 17However she weptH1058 beforeH5921 him sevenH7651 daysH3117 whileH834 their feastH4960 lastedH1961. And on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he toldH5046 her becauseH3588 she pressedH6693 him so hardH6693. She then toldH5046 the riddleH2420 to the sonsH1121 of her peopleH5971.
